It's has been a while since I've been this frustrated with someone or something. I HATE making phone calls to banks, internet companies, electric companies... basically any company... I will do anything and everything to avoid doing this... However, in this case, I can't avoid this... and had to do it for what seemed like hundreds of hours. Oh, did I mention that most of these calls were made in German? Internet contracts and installation preparations are confusing enough...
After what seemed to be the most phone calls I've ever made in my life... I've come to find that I still have to wait 2 weeks and there's nothing anyone can do to help me. This seems unreasonable... ever heard of customer service???
In the meantime... my postings will be few and far between... I've got blogging withdraw.
The past few weeks at work have been pretty great. The plum machine is gone!!!! We shipped the machine off to the guys who provide us with our plums. They are now cutting them before delivering them to us! I cannot explain my excitement on this topic!
I've been making crazy amounts of blueberry muffins (because we got a blueberry crazy going on in the bakery). Something I found interesting was that we use Marzipan in our recipe.... It makes it taste delicious! You know when you add nutmeg to a recipe, and then afterwards serve it to people, and they say, "Oh! What's that?!" Well, the same goes for Marzipan. Some of you may be thinking that Marzipan is only used in Pralines, for making figurines, and used to cover cakes... But, I'm telling you... use it in your baking! It'll have the same effect as nutmeg does. It adds a great flavor that people just can't put their finger on... and it'll just be your little secret.
I know that it's a little pricey... and definitely a little more pricey in the U.S. But, it's worth it... and you don't need to use a lot of it for the flavor to come out!
Okay, it's time to head out... Until next time! (Whenever that may be...)
I hope you get your internet fixed soon, I miss your postings.

ReplyDeleteunghh...i HATE not reading ur posts!!!
ReplyDeleteMarzipan IS so yummy! I should try baking with it sometime...annoying about those phone calls. I understand your aversion.
ReplyDeleteI hope your connection problems will soon be over.I use almond paste in severa lof my dessert recipes. It is a bit less sweet than marzipan, but it also infuses wonderful flavor to baked goods. This is my first visit to your blog but I'll be back.I hope you have a great day. Blessings...Mary
